I was in Superdrug yesterday absolutely fascinated with their 'soundtrack'. They've obviously found a loophole in paying royalties to music companies by airing covers of popular chart music. It's so bad, that once you actually do realise it's not Rihanna singing 'Umbrella', that it's probably someone's 11 year-old daughter making a 'demo' - you cannot help but blush internally and try not to pee your pants laughing your arse off ... and remarkably I stayed in there long enough to test out Bourjois' new Lip Cream.
It's glorious.
It has the texture of freshly whipped icing except when applied to the lips it goes on matte. The palette of colours they have chosen are sexy and cute nudes. Very youthful nudes. I instantly imagine it on pert, nonchalant Parisien girls chatting over glasses of Ricard outside a cafe in early spring. They would re-apply it as the evening dawns and their night plans come into play - except together with a smokey eye. And immediately I am transported to Summer London with it's edge and it's show-offs! The Rose-Scented lip cream would look absoutely stunning with smokey eyes and a tan. Subtly patted onto lips so it's extra natural looking. It's light enough for quick application, but it's full coverage formula smoothes and even the lips instantly. So patting it on, in the 'Rose Poudre' colour, lightly with your finger gives you a perfect lip look.
The coconut oil allows the lip cream to feel like a matte vaseline with extra moisturising benefits that you feel when you rub your lips together. It really lasts as well. I still had it on when I got home a couple of hours later. At which point I inspected it in the mirror. It doesn't do that hideous cakey, dry, sticky thing that other top-brand lasting lip cream's do. Very comforting and a perfect nod to long summer evenings.
I felt my lips and they felt soft, powdery and kissable and smelled so intensely of a rose garden that I thought "if someone was talking to me at close proximity - they'd be in heaven". So, yeah, this lip cream is highly sociable! A great accessory for the obligatory kissing all and sundry every time you bump into someone you know. And with people you don't know - a fabulous and memorable first impression.

A fantastic new product from those tongue-in-cheek Parisiens behind the frilly lace curtains at Bourjois.
Available at Superdrug & Boots for around £5.80
